Thanks MPG for reminding me that he gave this specific information abt his birth and religion. Sorry for losing focus of this, think my mind was overwhelmed by my searches seeing several pointers to him possibly being Irish, perhaps due to my using an American database which may be biased in this respect?.

I've just searched for Adelaide and then Edith under the hope they were his mother or aunt and so born between 1800 and 1840, and at one time living in Bristol area. To my surprise I found Adelaide a more common name hence "fit" than Edith, this one particularly;

1851 Spring Street, Bedminster, Somerset, England
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Joseph Collings Head M 55 Gardner. West Pennard, Somerset
Sarah Collings Wife F 52 Kilmersdn, Somerset
Angelina Collings Daughter F 23 Unmarried. Brislington, Somerset
Adelaide Collings Daughter F 20 Unmarried. Brislington, Somerset

(NB: Bedminster is in Bristol, Brislington is on the southern edge of Bristol.)

1861 East Redcliff Cresent, Bedminster, Somersetshire, England
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Joseph Collins Head M 65 Gardener. Wells, Somerset
Sarah Collins Wife F 62 ..., Somerset
Angelina Collins Daughter F 34 Unmarried. Milliner & Dressmaker. ..., Somerset
Adelaida Collins Daughter F 30 Unmarried. NO OCCUPATION GIVEN ? ..., Somerset
Abraham Collins Son M 21 Clerk tea trade. Bristol, Somerset
John Ruddock Boarder M 30 Widower. Engine fitter. Bristol, Somerset
Matilda Ruddock Boarders Daughter F 7 Bristol, Somerset
Charles Nichols Boarder M 24 Clerk. Taunton, Somerset

I cannot find any later marriage or Census record for Adelaide.
John Ruddock remarried Aug 1861, and was still married to same lady in 1901, and not Adelaide.

However;

Name Charles Nichols
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 02 Apr 1864
Event Place Bedminster, St John, Somersetshire, England
Gender Male
Marital Status Single
Father's Name Edward Nichols
Spouse's Name Angelina Collins
Spouse's Residence Place Bedminster, St John, Somersetshire
Spouse's Gender Female
Spouse's Marital Status Single
Spouse's Father's Name Joseph Collins

1871 Bedminster, Somersetshire, England
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Charles Nichols Head M 34 Contractor's foreman. Cleeve, Somerset
Angelina Nichols Wife F 36 Bristol
Joseph Collins Father-in-law M 73 West Pennard, Somerset

IT MAY ??? be significant that by 1891 they MAY be living in the Forest of Dean !!
Is this them ? Probably not, yet...

1891 Church Street, Westbury On Severn, Gloucestershire.
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Charles Nichols Head M 54 Hotel keeper. England
Annie Nichols Wife F 48 Dorsetshire, England
Ernest Walkins Servant M 16 Gloucestershire, England

Cannot find them in 1881 Census - sounds familiar..

There are only a couple of Chas Nichols in the FoD PRs.

Angelina Nichols is not such a rare name in the BMD records as I first assumed.

Not conclusive, but ????

I also cannot find any obvious birth records in FreeBMD for Thomas CollinGs, a spelling variation I hadn't previously considered.
